On the archipelago's western shores, waves crash relentlessly against the rocks, and the tides push an enormous volume of water twice daily, making it an ideal location for testing wave and tidal power technologies.
The European Marine Energy Center (EMEC) hosts wave and tidal power testing facilities in Orkney, with the Billia Croo site experiencing waves up to 20 meters high, attracting over 20 corporate clients for testing.
